The test used for IDL Numeracy is a placement test. As a placement test it is used within the programme to determine the best starting point for each pupil and to compare the pupil’s ability against age related expectations. The test could also be used as an initial baselining test for all your pupils. The test should not be considered a diagnostic tool for neurological disorders or learning disabilities.
The most frequently used number patterns are Chinn Patterns, but it also uses Number blocks with various lessons.

Yes. In fact this is probably one of the most common uses of IDL Numeracy amongst our customers. Because or your pupils can work independently at their own level and pace, then you could probably have a group of 10 or more for only one facilitator.
This really depends on the ability of the pupil but on average a test will take about half an hour. The test is fully online and your pupils will be asked up to 120 graded questions. The test will stop after three consecutive wrong answers. If your pupil needs more time than available to complete a test they can simply save the test and continue from where they left off at another time.
